Updates on the Mobile Divider and Its Use in Calabria Region to Monitor and Control <i>Aethina tumida</i> Infestation

The small hive beetle (SHB), <i>Aethina tumida</i> was first detected in the Calabria and Sicily region (Southern Italy) in 2014. In this regard, a more effective and faster inspection method than the Official one (Ministry of Health) was tested to detect the beetle in the hive. In colla...
